Around 6-thousand-500 passengers were affected by the latest temporary shutdown, with 23 diverted flights plus 58 cancellations and delays. Munich is currently hosting its famed Oktoberfest beer festival, which draws millions of visitors from Germany and abroad. The airport closures came ahead of the festival finale today.
